Bike Rack Recommendation to Carry Trek Verve 3 E-Bikes

Updated 04/28/2020 | Published 04/25/2020

Question:

Can you use this bike rack on E bikes that have both front and rear fenders. I have 2 Trek Verve 3 electric bikes, 55LBS each that have both front and rear fenders. Rear fender also has an attached rack. What bike rack will fit these E bikes?

The Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F transports bikes (up to 60 lbs) with dual wheel-clamping hooks as well as front and rear wheel straps for a super secure connection.

As long as you can really get the front wheel clamped down well you can just do the best you can with the rear hook and it will be good to go. The front fender on a bike stops right where you would want the hook to be so ideal placement is not hard to get for the front wheel. For the back tire then you can either float the hook slightly over it to prevent it from bouncing out in some kind of extreme situation or if it is just a single bike on the rack you can clamp the hook down below the fender where ever possible.
